Via Paul Bedard, she’s the hero the right deserves, whether or not it needs her right now.

Although, if you’re a populist, you do need her. Or someone like her to rattle their saber about 2020 and muscle Trump back towards serving his base.

Here’s William Gheen, head of the anti-illegal-immigration group ALIPAC:

Quote
    After listening to Ann Coulter’s latest statements on the Lars Larson Show, I believe Ann should announce a Presidential campaign because she would be our best bet to pressure Trump to stop breaking his campaign promises in the remainder of his term while at the same time giving a strong national voice to the millions of Trump voters like me who are dismayed at his reversals on key issues like immigration, border security, and Amnesty for illegals. If Coulter truly believes Trump’s failure to deliver on his Make America Great Again promises means the end of America, shouldn’t she run in a last-ditch effort to save our nation from the perils she perceives and describes?…

    While many Trump supporters will initially react negatively to Ann Coulter entering the Presidential race, I believe their ire would settle and more would join her over time if she ran on a MAGA campaign platform. Simply put, she should take everything important Trump promised American voters, tell everyone that’s her campaign platform with one major difference–she really means it and will really do it!…

    Everyone knows that America is due to elect its first female President, and in 2016, Americans made it clear we do not want a socialist like Hillary Clinton to lay claim to that historical landmark in our Republic. Ann Coulter would make an excellent candidate who is willing to tell the truth as she sees it to the point of being abrasive.

The key bit: “President Trump might even … drop his support for DACA, Dream Act, and Immigration Reform Amnesty for illegal aliens knowing that people will be checking boxes on ballots between Trump and Coulter in about 22 months!” Yeah, for all the media hype about a Jeff Flake or John Kasich challenging Trump from the center-right in 2020, it’s MAGA Nation that would benefit most from a credible primary challenge. With the notable exception of tariffs, Trump has governed as a conventional center-right Republican himself. He lets Ryan and McConnell do most of the policy heavy-lifting. If Flake or Kasich jump in, they’ll be running chiefly on improving America’s “tone,” which is good for a protest vote for some but won’t do much of anything to change Trump’s behavior. (Although, importantly, it could leave enough center-righties disaffected with POTUS to deepen his problems in the general election.)
